Union Leaders Back Modified Saloon Return to Iowa
After a policy meeting the Iowa State Federation of Labor pledged support for returning a modified saloon to Iowa. The plan, backed by the Iowa Restaurant Owners Association, would limit saloons to commercial districts, ban food service and dancing, require state license and liquor purchases from the commission, and enforce front windows for visibility. Local option advocates may merge with the measure as it moves toward a bill to amend liquor law.
